Resumen
Pregnancy during adolescence happens when the girls are going through a lot of changes, some
transformations come from their age, others from pregnancy. Both can generate the need for
reorganization of perception and relation with your own body, with aspects of their identity, as
well as the need to rethink their life projects. In this way, it is a critical moment for the
adolescents development since intrapsychic and interpersonal adaptations are necessary to
enable psychic growth or its deterioration. The resilience - the ability of the individual to face
and overcome an adverse situation, coming out strengthened or transformed from that
experience - can make it easier for young women to access resources to face the changes
brought by pregnancy. The way the pregnant woman faces this moment is able to influence the
connection with the baby and possibly the investment she will make to suply the physical and
emotional needs of the child, influencing child development. Due to these questions, the
objective is to investigate the correlation between resilience and maternal-fetal attachment in a
pregnant teenager. 77 pregnant teenagers who performed prenatal care at the Basic Health Units
of the Southern District, in the city of Natal participated in this research. They answered a
questionnaire with sociodemographic and gestational data; the Resilience Scale, and the
Maternal-Fetal Attachment Scale. For the data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics
were performed using data processing software (SPSS). The results indicate a predominance of
moderate levels of resilience (51.9%) and average maternal-fetal attachment (88.3%) among
the pregnant women interviewed. Regarding the correlation between these two constructs (R =
0.397, p = 0.000), we identified that it was positive, statistically significant and weak, in
addition to being indicative of a bidirectional influence. These results point to the presence of
skills to deal with the challenges posed by pregnancy and the establishment of the mother-baby
bond.
